No way to play

There simply isn’t a good way to play the next batch of video game launches. Nintendo is unwilling to part with any of its retained earnings for shareholder friendly moves. Sony Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:SNE) has yet to provide enough information about its PS4 system – and history suggests it is much better at losing money than making money on consoles. Finally, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) ‘s Xbox profits are merely a drop in the bucket compared to its profits from operating systems and the Office Suite.

If you want exposure to video games, buy the systems. There’s just no investment to be made here in any form.
